The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1887-04-14
Marietta Register.1

In the death of Davis Mackley the
country press Of Ohio loses one Of its
ablest and purest men. The Jackson
Standard, under his management, was
recognized for it's independence, fear
lessness and individuality. His style
was not copied by the younger men,
but there are few who could not have
sat at his feet and learned better how
to use pure and vigorous English. He
was radical on the temperance and
slavery questions, and did good work
for both. We would drop a laurel
wreath over his grave.

YPsILANTI, MICH, March 26, 81.
Dear Friend John:
In letter received from my old
home a few days since was brought to
me the sad message that your father,
Davis Mackley, was dead, and they
only can know how sincere was the sad
ness caused by such message, who
knew how sincere was my admiration
and affection for The man whose life,
more than that of any other | have
ever known, moulded and influenced
what I have been and may be. So
strong was my friendship for him
and so persistent the expression of
my admiration and approval of his
words and works, that the boys on
the streets and the men in the mines
who did not share my approval and
admiration would sometimes refer to
me as "Old Mackley." By them it
was intended as a synonym for scorn
and derision, but l never failed to
accept it with pride and acknowledge
it with gladness.
It was truthfully said, that no man
who ever lived in Jackson county was
more abused and vilifed than was
Davis Mackley, but as truthfully can
it be said that they who knew him

RUNAWAY. On last Friday Mr..
Reuben Eversole, a horse buyer from
Pennsylvania. drove horse from Win
chester to Martinsburg, hired from Os-
bourne's livery stable. Mr.. Eversole
hitehed the animal, attached to the
buggy, at the G. v. Depot and while he
was transacting some business inside,
it frightened at passing omnibus and
broke loose. 1t ran down Race street,
through Bender's lumber yard and leap
ed over the steep bank, at that point,
on the B. & o. r. r., track dragging
the buggy with it. The horse fell on
a piece of broken brake shield, which
penetrated from behind the fore leg to
the breast. Perry Scott, the driver Of
the Continental omnibus, who followed
the runaway down the street, as fast as
possible, arrived on the scene and I'M
hitched the wounded horse from the
broken buggy. The piece of iron was
extracted and the horse taken TO the
Continental stable where the wound
was dressed. On Saturday the horse
was we'll enough to be led back to Win

character, Mrs. Gard leaves behind her a
respected and an honored name. AS a
christian, she lived life of trust and obey

readiness. Religion with her was far more
than a fashionable sentimentalism. 1t
was deep and fixed principle. Hers
was faith which the fires Of Smithfield
could not have oyerawed or daunted. Her
hope is ow made real. He whom she be-
lieyed, kept her in safety down to the last
step and then bore her in triumph to the
throne. To day her everlasting jubilee
has begun. "To depart and be with Christ
